Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an echo cancelling device that cancels an echo signal superimposed on an acoustic signal.
  • an acoustic echo canceller that has an adaptive filter which identifies a transfer function between a speaker and a microphone, generates a pseudo echo signal using an echo path identified by the adaptive filter, subtracts the pseudo echo signal from an input signal of the microphone, and thereby cancels an echo transmitted from the speaker to the microphone.
  • a conventional acoustic echo canceller cancels echoes by means of a single adaptive filter.
  • an acoustic signal has an unbalanced energy distribution in a frequency band, there is a drawback that sufficient echo suppression cannot be performed with the single adaptive filter due to a convergence delay, etc.
  • a sub-band echo canceller which splits an acoustic signal into a plurality of frequency bands and performs echo cancellation on an individual band basis.
  • the sampling frequency can be reduced by splitting the band, a reduction in the amount of computation can be expected. More specifically, assuming that the band (0 to 4 kHz) of a signal having a sampling frequency of 8 kHz is split into two sub-bands of 0-2 kHz and 2-4 kHz, a bandwidth of each sub-band is 2 kHz. Since the signal of each sub-band can be represented as a signal with a sampling frequency of 4 kHz, the sampling frequency can be reduced to half.
